CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Jesus M. Rivera, Jr. - "Very detailed information on bariatric surgery. I found it interesting about adolescence and bariatric surgery."

Amy Prout - "I am starting to see a lot of post-bariatric patients in my diabetes clinic and this course provided me with a better understanding of what to look for and what to monitor, especially with my patients with diabetes who are starting to plan for a family."

Lauren Shull "I liked the various case study scenarios so I was able to apply what I read from the pocket guide into practice."

Toni L. Herman - "Too few practitioners have a thorough understanding of the various bariatric procedures & their need for life-long monitoring. The pocket guide is very practical (size) to have available, and is PACKED with all the essentials. I tabbed mine."
